According to a recent Gallup Poll, 42% of Americans consider themselves to be "conservative" or "very conservative." The same poll shows that only 20% consider themselves "liberal" or "very liberal."
This sounds encouraging...and to a degree, it is. But the poll also shows 35% of Americans consider themselves to be "moderates," which in turn breaks down into two component groups: people who are too clueless about the news to have a meaningful opinion, and people who are closet liberals and don't want to admit it.
And seriously, who can blame them? Would you want to take responsibility for debt skyrocketing out of control, open borders, failure to contain oil spills, rising healthcare costs, the collapse of America's foreign policy, record joblessness, rising taxes and, worst of all, The View?
Of course, the only numbers that really matter are the ones we'll be seeing in November. And we can hardly wait...
Because we can go to Hell in a Handbasket even faster if we give the handbasket supersonic jet engines, a Massachusetts school system has decided to distribute free condoms to children as young as six years old...with parents unable to voice complaints or prevent the distribution.
Children - as young as kindergarten students - can request the condoms secretly, but will only receive them after a consultation with a school nurse who can make sure that the condoms will be used appropriately. Which presumably means that a six-year-old boy can only have consensual sex with a five-year-old girl (perhaps requiring a promise to give her a shiny nickel.)
As much as we'd like to have a devastatingly clever punchline to this story, it just isn't going to happen. Hope n' Change is literally, truly, physically ill about this.
And so we simply leave you with a photo of the children - the children, for God's sake - that the Massachusetts school system thinks should be having unrestricted sex whether their parents are against it or not.
Look at these kids' eyes, their faces, and their smiles. Think about their lives, their hopes, and their futures. And then ask yourself why a taxpayer-funded school system would deliberately be prepping them all to be rape victims.
To paraphrase Hillary Clinton and her ghostwriter, "It takes a village...to destroy families."
To the surprise of no one and the delight of the Taliban, a petulant and frowny-faced Barack Obama fired our top military commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, because the alleged president wasn't happy about remarks the General's staffers made about Washington while drinking with a reporter from Rolling Stone magazine.
The president insists that in a time of war, lack of respect can not and will not be tolerated - which is why he replaced McChrystal with Army General David Petraeus, who liberals in Washington respectfully called "General Betray-us" when he was leading war efforts in Iraq. And in fact, when Republicans offered up a resolution condemning the "General Betray-us" slur, both Barack Obama and Joe Biden refused to support it.
And so, in these strange days of Hope n' Change, we now have a wartime president whose thinking and strategy are coming out of the pages of Rolling Stone. Which no doubt offers a certain nostalgia to a president who admits that he spent the years when he could have served in the military "rolling stoned."
